Key legal question
Whether the settlement of 18 March 2010 converted the seizure into a definitive attachment for EUR 109,628 and barred later seizures.
Extracted holding
No. The parties only agreed to lift the seizure if payment was made; as payment never occurred, the transaction had no executed effect and the amount remained attachable.
Extracted reasoning
The court held that the agreement was conditional and the condition was not fulfilled. Since the transfer never took place, the creditor could not rely on the settlement to claim exclusive rights to the funds or to prevent subsequent seizures.
